Fashion Show

Jillian's moving into a bigger size of clothes and this size has LOTS of dresses. So I've taken some pictures of her modeling her new outfits

 Just before church on Sunday. Oh and these shoes actually don't fit, they are about 1in. too big, I'm surprised they stayed on her feet as long as they did.

 Jillian 5 months old!

 Another pre-church shot. I LOVE this dress, I wish I had a matching one, it's so adorable!

 Jack and Jill asleep in the crib

 I love this dress too. The whole day she wore it I kept thinking of how we could all match her for a family picture, so that may be coming soon.

 Little miss almost 6 months old is trying to sit up on her own and trying out rice cereal too.

 She was more in love with the spoon than the stuff on it. All the cereal just got spit right back out, so we'll try again another time.

 She can roll over, from back to tummy. Then she gets stuck there and cries when she's done playing with the toys around her.

 Loving the Bumbo! It's so fun to see the world from the table top :)

 These are my cute kids this morning! 

 Erik let me spike his hair, that hasn't happened in like a year!

Jillian is sporting her new dress with matching leggings and shoes! AND darling flip flops that are too big for her petite feet, but too cute to leave off.

Yes, I'm having fun dressing our little girl up each day in lovely dresses, Girls are fun!

Labor Day Weekend

This Labor Day we got to visit our friends in eastern Idaho! They showed us all the fun things to do around there and we all had a blast! I think the most fun we had was playing games at their home and catching up with each other. It was great to see you Hall's!

 Fun at the bottom of the water slide at this splash park. Erik thought I needed to get wet too.

 Then he got Lily to join in his fun. They splashed and played there for a long time. I think it was their favorite part of the slash park.

 Then we explored the playground. Jillian and Daddy tried out this red slide.

 Erik mastered the jungle gym. He decided to show me his tongue instead of his smile, silly boy.

 Jillian enjoying her turn with the boomerang 

 The carousel! Erik wanted to ride and we had just enough money in change to ride. I got tired of the ride half way through, but it was fun to be with Erik. He got more comfortable as the ride went and eventually took his hands off the bar and tried "leading" the horse with the reigns.

 "Behold your little ones"

 This is the visitor's center at the Idaho Falls temple, it was beautiful to tour on Sunday, a very spiritual way to start the Sabbath day. I love this picture of my family in  front of the Savior, it's like He's got them in his embrace. Which I know is true, we are under the care and watch of our Savior.

 Now for Paul's favorite fact, this is the temple my parent's were married in! I've told him that a few too many times :) It's a beautiful temple, the grounds are being re-done, as you can see.

 Erik and Lily playing the "color the temple" game offered at the visitor's center.

 Our Families that began in the temple now posed in front of the temple. We love to see the temple! This was our second temple trip, we did a session in the Rexburg temple on Sat morning, so beautiful!

 Later that night we got a tour of campus and loved walking through the garden's there. It was beautiful!

 Lovely waterfalls and archways, so romantic!

 The last thing we got to do before we left for home was play at the local water park! They had a great kids area, lazy river, fun water slide and a really fun(but hard) rock climbing wall. It's placed over the water so when you reach the top, or get tired like me, you can let go and splash into the water.

Thanks for a WONDERFUL vacation Hall Family! We loved staying and playing with you!
On the way home Erik kept asking us to turn around and go back to Lily's house then when that didn't work for him he started telling us that Lily would be coming to visit him, will she?
